Newly formed Unilever Bestfoods UK has made its first deal in the rapidly growing organics sector with the purchase of small Scottish firm Go Organic. Founded and run by Sheila Ross and Charlotte Mitchell, Go Organic makes organic pasta sauces, soups and spicy vegetarian curries on sale in Waitrose, some Sainsburys and health food shops. With the marketing muscle, financial clout and superior distribution of its new parent, Go Organic will be able to develop new products and get listings with other multiples, said its founders. Unilever Bestfoods said the company was determined to "move into new areas". {{NEWS }}
